Hoisin Sauce

Hoisin Sauce

Source: AP Recipes, Dee Wang, wh advised using the first ingredient in each item where there is more than one listed o a line

Yield: 1 serving

4 Tbspsoy sauce, (usual/dark/light)
2 Tbsppeanut butter/black bean paste
1 tablespoon honey/molasses/white or dark sugar
2 tpss white vinegar
1/8 tps garlic powder
2 tpss sesame seed oil
20 drops Chinese-style hot sauce, habanero, jalapeno
1/8 tps pepper

EXPERIMENT! Now you have control of the taste
Lighter for chicken & pork, stronger for beef & game
Sweeter for Dim Sum

The commercial recipe is presumably the black bean paste
I presume they are the same as Mexican/Spanish black beans

Different types of soy, molasses, some of the oil being hot pepper oil, other styles of pepper sauce
All kinds of variations
However, with light soy & honey, the taste of peanut dominates

Simply mix together
At first it does not appear like it will mix but keep at it just a bit longer & you have Hoisin
Letting it rest does not appear to improve the taste
